Topic on User talk:Saarik

You seem to be the operator of User:YSObot. This bot is not approved and seems to be flooding Wikidata with duplicate items like museum (Q113965327) & theatre (Q113965328). Please get your bot approved. I added your request to Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot.

Thank you for adding the request! I thought the YSObot was already approved as it is an important tool in http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q89345680 to make the linkages between the 30.000+ concepts of YSO and Wikidata.

Considering the cases you linked as an example- those are classes of a Finnish classification by the National Land Survey and I was earlier guided NOT TO ADD these class definitions to existing Wikidata items but instead create a separate item for each class of the classification. (see my earlier user talks) These are then linked to the exisiting equal wikidata items with Property:P2959. As thiis is done manually, I did not finish those relations,yet. Perhaps I should have done this with my personal account then as there were only 154 classes and then YSObot would not be blamed?

Considering duplicates in YSO-ID properties which you might also wonder. The reason for duplicates is that the hierarchical structure with wikidata and YSO are not equal so there are often cases that one wikidata item is split in YSO or vice versa. This is unavoidable. One solution we have been considering is to lift the constraint of single value in that property. However, our current solution is to add the ID to both items and list them in the exeption list of the YSO-ID property. ~~~~
